Banana diet big in Japan

According to international diet news reports, the banana diet is sweeping Japan leading to the popular yellow fruit being sold out in supermarkets across the country.
Bananas have long been hailed as a healthy thing to eat, but with a string of books now praising the banana diet as the healthiest thing to eat to aid weight loss, the fruit has suddenly soared in popularity.
The largest banana importer in Japan, Dole Japan Company, reportedly commented: !It’s the first time bananas have been quite so scarce.” Sales of Bananas at major supermarket chains have soared by some 70 per cent in the last week.
Diet experts remind fad dieters that nothing offers a weight-loss shortcut, but a healthy diet and plenty of exercise is key in losing weight.
